Identity Thief (2013)

I love funny movies. Melissa McCarthy delivered. This is not a non-stop-laugh movie, but it has plenty of funny and hilarious scenes. There is a storyline, a plot; it is not continuous slapstick. It has serious moments, and sad moments -- it is bittersweet yet very, very funny. Eric Stonestreet gives a great performance as Big Chuck. His is a small part, and one not for children. Actually, children should not see this movie as there is some violence as well as the short sex scene with Big Chuck. In the end, the character played by Jason Bateman, Sandy, shows his true side, which is compassion and forgiveness and that, when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade -- don't give up; just start over. Melissa McCarthy is as funny here as in Bridesmaids. I am looking forward to The Heat, in which she stars with Sandra Bullock.
